Cesc Fabregas chose four Leicester players in his Premier League team of the season on Monday Night Football.

Fabregas, a guest on MNF as Tottenham beat Stoke 4-0 to move to within five points of the Foxes with four games remaining, picked Robert Huth, Riyad Mahrez, N'Golo Kante and Jamie Vardy in his side.

The four Leicester stars came alongside three Spurs players in Toby Alderweireld, Dele Alli and Harry Kane, as well as David de Gea, Hector Bellerin, Ryan Bertrand and Dimitri Payet.

Leicester City's remarkable season has been recognised with Vardy, Kante and Mahrez all named on the six-man shortlist for the PFA Players' Player of the Year.

The Foxes trio are joined by West Ham's Payet, Tottenham striker Kane and Arsenal's Mesut Ozil for the 43rd PFA Awards to be held in London on April 24.

Asked who he felt was Chelsea's player of the year, Fabregas said that Brazilian midfielder Willian had been most consistent in what has been a disappointing season for the Blues.
